O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene(MGMT) expression in human glioblastomas in relation to patient characteristics and p53 accumulation
20 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Repair of cytotoxic DNA damage by O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a potentially important factor of chemoresistance to chloroethylnitrosoureas (CENUs), commonly used in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The value of p53 as a prognostic factor in GBMs remains unclear, but a possible relationship between MGMT gene expression and p53 has been suggested. To further examine these GBM...
